Btw, Rey is the first fictional hero my daughter has gotten excited about, and it's been kind of awesome to watch. It's one thing to be aware of the fact that girls want to see awesome female protagonists, but seeing her reactions really drove the point home for me. So yeah, one reason why I'd like to see Leia show some signs of Force power is because I know it would be a big deal for my daughter. Leias Force use was the first thing she wanted to talk about after RotJ ended. (Obviously Leia is her second favourite after Rey.)
But really it would make sense.

My wife also mentioned this. Plus they didn't sexify her up with some skimpy sexy outfit to try to sell copies. She's just a bad ass hero who happens to be a female. It's great for girls and women everywhere IMO.
